REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Trai Thien Sea Transport Investment and Development Joint Stock Company
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trai Thien Sea Transport Investment and Development Joint Stock Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from June 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from June 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has obligated to meet with significant capital commitments, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Trai Thien Sea Transport Investment and Development Joint Stock Company (the “Company”) was registered as a joint stock company under the Enterprise Law of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on June 11, 2007. The major shareholders are Mr. Nguyen Quoc Khanh, Mr. Nguyen Van Van and Mr. Nguyen Ba Sinh as the founders of the Company.
Pursuant to its Corporate Charter, the authorized capital of the Company is Vietnamese Dong (“VND”) 500,000,000,000 (approximately US$30,448,816) representing the number of capital stock of 50,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.609 (equivalent to VND10,000).
The Company primarily charters vessels from the ship-owners and operates the vessels in the ocean transportation of a broad range of major and minor bulk cargoes including iron ore, coal, grain, cement and fertilizer, along Asian shipping routes. Its principal place of business is 253 Khuong Viet, Phu Trung Ward, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
For the period from June 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008, the Company operated a modern fleet of 3 oceangoing vessels with a combined carrying capacity of 9,600 deadweight tons and an average age of approximately 3 years.
2.
GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
During 2007, the Company contracted for the construction of 6 vessels in Vietnam with a combined carrying capacity of 45,600 deadweight tons in the aggregate value of approximately $66 million (equivalent to VND1,170,000,000,000), which is expected to be delivered between 2009 and 2010. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has available $59,621 cash and cash equivalents, which may not able to meet with such capital commitments. The Company plans to finance the construction of 6 newly-built vessels through the further capital injection from its shareholders or additional financing from the banks. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to meet with its obligations on a timely basis towards the delivery of the vessels.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
·
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
·
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience of the Company. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. All other balances are reviewed on a specific basis based on the aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not record any amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
·
Plant and equipment, net
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:
| | | |
| | | Depreciable life |
Office equipment | | | 3 to 5 years |
Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from June 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007 was $7,069 and $888, respectively.
·
Vessel construction in progress
Vessel construction in progress represents the cost of contracts to build vessels and other direct costs relating to acquiring and placing the vessels in service. No depreciation is provided for until the vessel is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. No capitalized interest is incurred during the period of vessel construction.
·
Impairment of long-life assets
Long-lived assets primarily include plant and equipment and vessel construction in progress. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

·
Revenue recognition
In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,“Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
(a)
Cargo transportation revenue
Recognition of cargo transportation revenue is based upon method three under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 91-9“Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process”. Under this method, the Company recorded both transportation revenue and its direct costs when the shipment is completed.
Revenue represents the invoiced value of services, net of value-added tax (“VAT”) and brokerage commission payable to unaffiliated shipping agents.
(b)
Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
·
Operating expenses
Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, fuel (bunker) expenses and expenses relating to repairs and maintenance which are directly attributable to the rendering of voyage service to the customers. Voyage expenses are recognized when incurred.
Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the costs of insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. Vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.
·
Comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
·
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not b e realized.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
The Company also adopts Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,“Accounting for Income Taxes.”FIN 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption ofFIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on mea surement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from June 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007.
The Company conducts major businesses in Vietnam and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
·
Net income per share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
·
Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company maintains its books and record in a local currency, Vietnamese Dong ("VND"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
| | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Year end VND : US$1 exchange rate | | 17,698 | | 16,279 |
Average period VND : US$1 exchange rate | | 16,708 | | 16,421 |

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short term maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective year ends.

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS“) No. 157,"Fair Value Measurements"("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB deferred SFAS No. 157's effective date for all non-fina ncial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until years beginning after November 15, 2008.The Company believes that SFAS No. 157 should not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,"The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company believes that SFAS No. 159 should not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-6-1,“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresseswhether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year s beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect it to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Also in June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that anentity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this EITF 07-5 on the financial condition and results of operations and does not expect it to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4,“Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (“FSP FAS 133-1” and “FIN 45-4”). SP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends disclosure requirements for sellers of credit derivatives and financial guarantees. It also clarifies the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 161 and is effective for quarterly periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and fiscal years that include those periods. The adoption of FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s current financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-3,“Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3.”) FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market. It illustrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2008, FASB issues Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities”. The purpose of this FSP is to promptly increase disclosures by public entities and enterprises until the pending amendments to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, (“SFAS No. 140”) and FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, (“FIN 46(R)”) are finalized and approved by the FASB. The FSP is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) ending after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this FSP for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the adoption did not have any impact on the financial statements.
